8. Restructuring Costs

During 2014, the Company recorded restructuring costs of $3.6 million, primarily for reductions in consultants and functional support personnel in Europe. These actions were taken as a result of the continued decline in demand in the Company’s European markets. The Company effected these changes to reduce its costs to better align the overall cost structure and organization with anticipated demand for the Company services.

As of January 2, 2015, the Company had $0.3 million remaining in commitments relating to employee severance costs and down-sizing of office leases. As of December 27, 2013, the remaining restructuring reserves related to early vendor termination fees.
